PCB to Conduct 6 Team Under-19 Women’s T20 tournament from 13th August

The first-ever International Cricket Council (ICC) Under-19 Women’s T20 World Cup will take place in South Africa early next year. Every nation taking part in the tournament has got its blueprints looking to build a strong cricketing pool. Pakistan aiming for a good campaign at Under-19 Women’s T20 World Cup has announced the inaugural edition of the Women’s Under-19 T20 tournament that gets underway on the 13th of August and will go on till the 22nd of August at the Lahore Country Club, Muridke.

 

 

The 10-day tournament will be conducted in the round-robin method which will see each team play five matches. The league stage will be followed by semi-finals and finals on 20 August and 22 August respectively. The tournament is a fitting one for all willing to be a part of the Pakistan Under-19 team that’ll tour South Africa for the inaugural U-19 World Cup to leave a strong impression during the 10-day tournament. In a wider sense, top performers with time surely will be given places in the senior sides as well as in the domestic season which commences later this year.

The PCB has also introduced financial awards for the players featuring in the league. The winning team is set to receive PKR 400,000 along with the silverware and the runner-up will be receiving PKR 200,000. The player of the tournament will be awarded PKR 20,000 and each player of the match will receive PKR 10,000. The tournament’s top performers as the best player, best batter, best bowler and best wicketkeeper will also be gifted kit bags.
